This rate is that which is charged by London banks, and is then published and used as the benchmark for bank rates all over the world.

LIBOR is compiled by the British Bankers Association (BBA), and is published 11 am each day in conjunction with Reuters. It is comprised from a panel of banks representing countries in each of the quoted currencies. The banks are asked what rate they would charge for a given currency and a given length of time.
